Can cats eat ice cream?
If your cat has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.
Why
Most cats are lactose intolerant, meaning their bodies cannot properly digest the lactose in dairy products, leading to vomiting and diarrhea. Additionally, ice cream contains high amounts of sugar and fat that can be harmful to cats and may cause pancreatitis.
Watch out for
- lactose in dairy
- high sugar content
- chocolate or xylitol flavors
- toppings like nuts or fruit
